In Praise Of Ten.

The cup that cheers but not inebriates has been sung by poets of all ages and climes. Thegreat Emperor Kien-Long's instructions upon the proper preparation of the precious beverage may be found upon Chinese tea-cup.
 These quaint directions run somewhat as follows:
 Ger gentle fire set a tripod,
 Old iii form, rich brown from uso; Then with dearest water fill it,
 Melted from eternal snow.
 When this water seething hot is, Crab to redden, fish to blanch,
 Pour it out in dainty porcelain i Where lie leaves of choicest tea. ! When the cloud of dense white steam i5 Turn'd to film of lightest haze, Gently on the surface shimm 'Ting), Slowly drink the precious draught. Thus thou gains the strength to com
 bat
 All the five great cares of life That the mind perturb and trouble; Thus thou know'st the rest so soothing Which this magic drink imparts. Thou can'st taste it, feel it's power, But its charms cannot describe.

Re Got the Pass.

The following, which is true in every particular, is too good to be lost, and we embaIm it in our columns:
 When Mr. R. N. Rice. who was after ward President of the Michigan Central Railroad, was the General Manager of the New York Central, he received by mail an expired pass, across the back of which the holder had written, in red ink:
 Bless my stars no more on the cars AS deadhead I'll ride on the rail, Unless -8Ir. Rice should take my advice And send me pass by the mail.
 Without a moments hesitation, Mir. Rice turned the pass over and traced in red ink on its face the following: "The conductor will pass this bundle of
 gas
 From July till the middle of Lent; Like any other deadhead, without paying
 red,
 Let him ride to his hearts content" The pass wes never taken up, and is to-day in the hands of the holder, who is now literally a deadhead.-L Drakes Travellers Magazine.

How to Keep the Carriage New.

The preservation of a carriage depends
largely upon the way in which it is
housed. The barn or shed should be airy
and dry, with a moderate admission OF
light, otherwise the colors of painting and
lining will be affected. Do not let the
vehicle be rolled near brick wall, as tho
dampness Of the wall will fade the co!ors
and destroy the varnish. Tue coach house
should not be connected with the stable or
next the manure pit, since the ammonia
fumes rising from the manure will do
more to crack and ruin varnish, and ruin
colors Of paint and lining than all other
causes put together
DO not allow mud to dry on a newly
vanished carriage; spots and stains viii
be the result if you 90. Do not permit

A great obstacle in many sections of our
country to successful cultivation is the i'll
sufficient rainfall To remove this obstacle
it is only necessary that system of irri-
CATION be adopted. TO irrrate success
fully is required large amount of tech
nical knowledge and skill and the cXpcn-
diture of much labor and money. Irriga-
ton belongs, in fact, to progressive agri-
culture, and pays best when applied to
valuable land by intelligent men. Under
such circumstances it pays for itself many
times over by rendering large tracts Of
land otherwise vGlueless highly productive.
In proof of this assertion are many
successful efforts with irrigation in our
own country. \ notable instance at hand
is the state of Colorado with its 800 miies
of first class irrigating canals, 8, 800 miles
of secondary canals and ~, GOO miles of
smaller bitches, which have cost in the
aggregate about 81 600, 600, and will irri-
gate 2,2OO, COO acres. The largest canal is
taken from the Rio del Norte. 1t is nine
ty-eght feet wide at the top and sXty-tivc
feet on the bottom, with carrying ca
pacity of 100000, 900 cubic feet per diem
The main line is fifty miles long, and it is
designed to irrigate 200, 900 acres 1t was
constructed in four months by 5000 men
and !, 200 teams.

Ice weighs, as ordinarily packed, about
fifty pounds to the cubic foot. Estimating
at the rate of 100 pounds per day for the
ordinary consumption OF farm dairy, one
ton would be used up in twenty days. A
ton and a half per month is moderate
supply for a dairy farm. There ought
always to be full calculation made for
wastage and about four times as much ice
stored a. will be used, unless the ice house
is of the very best construction
If drain tiles can be laid al the bottom
below the base to take the drainage good
use can be made, says The Dairyman, of
the ice water that will flow throu h them.
Thus great saving of ice may he effected
and efficient cooling secured. This will

strong, short chains of about fifteen
centimetrcs in length, each of them
having a little hook attached to them.
The chains Zig. 2 are arranged so that
the middle chain works in an opposite
direction TO the other two. The hand
labor Is very simple, one man alone be
ing needed, but ii is preferable to have
two, thus obtaining greater and more

ward, to even ten centimetres more; the
man then fastens the hook CO. higher up,
and continues this till the lever can no
longer be worked. Finally he fastens the
lower beam chain hook on the upper
beam chain. If, as | have described, there
is only one man, this occasions an unequal
sinking of the stack; thus the men work
at different ends on the same beam, each
having, of course, lever, and keeping
the pressure equal.

The Citrus Fair.

CHICAGO, December 31.-The Citru
Fair of northern and southern Califor
mia was formally opened at 81 Wash
ington Street, this evening. Notwith.
standing the storm, there was an en-.
couragingly large representative at
tendance. In addition to the general
public, for whose benefit the fair is
principally designed, considerable
sprinkling of railroad officials and local
fruit merchants were present. The
fruits and. products exhibited come
entirely from that section of
California north of the latitude
of San Francisco, and embrace
oranges of all varieties, including the
celebrated Washington marvel, lemons,
lines, Japanese persimmons. raisins,
dates, olives, olive oil, nuts, various
dried fruits, etc. All of these fruits,
including most of the tropical, were
grown IN open air, under ordinary con-
ditions and with ordinary care. Olives
and oranges are shown on the trees,
and immense clusters of dates, as they
were taken from the tree. a fine young
banana plant was, unfortunately, killed
IN transit, by the cold snap of last
week, the car in which it was having been
exposed, at the Mississippi River,
to temperature of IS degrees
below zero. What makes the ex-
hibition, particularly notew orthy, is
the fact that all the fruits included in
1t mature so much earlier in the north
ern than in the southern part of the
state. Los Angeles, it will be remem-
bered, held a similar fair here last
March, over two months later than the
present venture. A very elaborate and
successful Citrus fair wrs held at Sac
ramento, the commercial centre of the
northern section, commencing De-
cember Is, and the exhibit there has
been brought to this city, and now
forms the citrus fair here. The fact of
this fruit being now in prime order
goes to show its fine keeping qualities.
The display is attracting much atten-
ton and will doubtless continue to at
tract many visitors. Mayor Harrison
was expected to have delivered an open
ing address last evening, but indisposi-
ton prevented. The fair, it is under
stood, will be continued for week.
